Seriously people...Do you really believe there's a "devil" running around wreaking havoc in peoples lives and torturing tormented souls in a firey hell?
If you do believe, do you also believe in invisible goblins who throw invisible poo (haven't you ever been driving down the road and smelled poo and wondered where it came from)?
Please explain why you believe and if there is any specific evidence to support your beliefs?
If you say "the bible", please keep in mind that "goblins" and "ghouls" are referrenced in old man made writings too.

You asked 2 questions:
1. Yes, I believe that the devil exists because the Bible records conversations that both God and Jesus had with him and also because I can see clearly the "Woe" that he has inflicted on earth's inhabitants since Jesus ousted him from heaven in 1914.
2. No, I do not believe in either souls that exist after death nor the tormenting of them in a firey hell for eternity. That is a stupid man-made teaching and has nothing to do with the teachings of the Bible. Unfortunately, some very sincere seekers of truth have been misled by misinterpretations of the scriptures.

The are many possible answers to the first part but the second part with the poo i cant comment on with out looking stupid. anyways were there is good there must also be a bad hence the term everything has an opsite. if there was no devil then what would balence out the good? but on the flip side man could have created the devil to blame all the bad things we do in life on. so it all depeneds on the person ur asking

I do believe there is a devil out there, but he hasn't been to hell yet. He doesn't know what it is like down there yet. He has free reign on the earth till Jesus comes back. Then he will be thrown in hell for 1,000 years, and released to come back and entice more people to come to hell with him. As far as goblins and ghouls they are the fallen angels that came down with Satan when he fell. He took 144,000 fallen angels with him. They are his demons who does his will. Yes I believe in the Bible. If you would read yours you would know all this.

The Devil/Lucifer was God's left hand being. The lite from God bounced off of him. He had a great voice too. So I'm told. He decided that he was as great as God. There was a fight. God did not destroy him,But throw him from Heaven.Lucifer was aloud to have Dominion over Earth. To answer your question: Yes.

i believe in the devil, yes
the devil is everything that is wrong and evil
he isnt a little minion running around wreaking havoc - he is the originator of impure thoughts and wrongdoing - and he is a master of perpetuating these types of things from person to person and throughout generations.
mankind has weaknesses - he is a master exploiter of them

Yes i realy believe in the devil. He is manipulative and enjoys causing pain when ever he can....if you let him. It makes me laugh when people say they can't believe in God because look at all the suffering he causes.....HELLO PEOPLE that's not God!!! That's mostly man causing bad things in the world WHY??? because man is being manipulated by the devil. And so the devil wins because everybody wants to know why God did it. He didn't the devil did!!!!

I believe he exist like the bible says but I don't worship him. Why do you think Halloween was invented. Not my favorite holiday. I treat it like any otherday and don't even acknowledge it.
